Once-in-a-Lifetime Whale Shark Swim & Isla Mujeres Tour

Its kind of a rush to chase whalesharks but it yields back your expectations and the guides put on real effort for you to see these amazing creature as many times as you can. Even if they dont escape your presence, they swim pretty fast and outpace you in a blink. If you are gonna do it with your toddler, mine was 5 years old, do it, make him or her see them. Take medication if you tend to be seasick because the boat really sways during the chase and wait. Good luck!

We had an amazing time! It was a once in a lifetime adventure. We were lucky enough to also see Manta rays and dolphins. Our guides were informative and fun. They want you to have the best experience possible which shows in their efforts. My one piece of advice would be “FOLLOW CINDY!!”

We had the best day swimming with the whale sharks! Experience of a lifetime!! Isaac and Cindy were the best guides! Took us right to the sharks and made us feel welcomed and comfortable! We had a wonderful lunch and fun time!

The captain is very nice. He makes sure I can clearly see the whale shark. Our family really enjoyed this trip. Life time experience, definitely worth going. Thanks

Isaac and Cindy have to be the best team! Not just because they make the best ceviche ever but because they went on a long search to find us the very elusive whale sharks. It took hours but while we were napping and tanning they found us at least 5 whale sharks and gave us one of the most memorable trips we've ever had. Great swim despite the crowds. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much!

Good overall, but too crowded. Took a long time to get there- 1.5 hr ride by car (we stayed at Playa del Carmen) and then about 1hr by boat. You get to go 2 times (2 people at one time) and there were 10 people on the boat, so a lot of waiting. In addition there is a whole line of boats that wait in line to drop their people. Crew tried their best to drop us right at where the shark was and we saw a full front, side and back view. However shark swims away very fast so you have a minute or 2 max viewing time. Overall good experience if Mexico is your usual destination and you don't go to remote places.

We did the whale shark tour with Cindy and her colleague, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The tour began with about an hour-long boat ride to reach the whale shark area. The boat was very comfortable, and the ride itself was really pleasant. During the journey, the guides gave us fun and informative tips about swimming with whale sharks, keeping everyone engaged and excited. When we arrived at the location, there were some other boats around, but it wasn’t overcrowded at all. We entered the water two at a time, taking turns to swim with these incredible creatures. It was truly a magical experience. In the water, Cindy guided us very well and made sure we felt safe and confident. Each of us had the chance to go in two to three times, which made the experience even more special. After swimming, we were treated to a delicious lunch and had time to relax and swim in the stunning clear waters around Isla Mujeres. It was truly a day to remember!

This was hands down the best excursion of my life! Captain Isaac & Cindy were phenomenal! Do not hesitate! Book the trip!!!

We had an incredible time with Contou Adventures! Swimming with the whale sharks was unforgettable, and Geovanny made the whole experience even better. He was super knowledgeable and took great care of us the entire time. What really stood out was how patient and kind he was with our 8-year-old son—he made sure he felt safe and included, which meant a lot to us. You can tell Geovanny really loves what he does, and it shows. Highly recommend Contou Adventures, and if you get the chance, go with Geovanny!

Axel and Raul Were amazing! The water was very rough so some people were sick but they did everything they could to make people comfortable. It takes over a hour to get to the whale sharks. There were a lot of boats in the area and we felt bad for the whale sharks because there were a lot of people and people weren’t following directions and staying 6 ft away.. The only downside was that the booking said $15 a person for the Marina dock fee, but when we arrived we’re were told 20 a person at the desk and they don’t take credit cards. Afterwards they try to sell you videos for $89 a video so bring your own camera.
